BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a feeding and positioning device for toy gun, and especially relates to a feeding and positioning device for BB gun.
2. Description of Related Art
Normally, the cone-shaped bullet is using the peeling of the spiral rifling while shooting to rotate by its own longitudinal axis after firing. The surface of the bullet is slantwise pressed to decrease the air resistance and further to improve the range of firing and hit rate.
However, there is no spiral rifling in the BB gun (toy gun). Please refer to FIG. 1, BB bullet 95 may only use the friction member 93 arranged inside the bore 92 to produce friction by pressing unidirectional. The BB bullet 95 may be rotated by its own longitudinal axis and the friction member 93 may be used for first positioning before shooting. The pressure outputted from the firing system may push the BB bullet 95 to prevent the air resistance and improve the range of firing after shooting.
But the friction member 93 arranged inside the barrel 91 of the BB gun (toy gun) is unidirectionally blocking the BB bullet 95 and the BB bullet 95 is contacted with an inner peripheral of the bore 92 with one point. Therefore, the error is easily produced while the bullet 95 is pushed by the nozzle 94 to be positioned before shooting, and the error of the positioning point of the BB bullet 95 is easier produced. It is hard to ensure that the BB bullet 95 may be pushed by instant high pressure in every firing. And the friction member 93 may not relatively effectively press BB bullet 95 slantwise. The BB bullet 95 may be shifted after firing and the rotation may be relatively decreased. The range of firing may be decreased. And the potential energy may be further decreased due to the decreasing of speed. The hit rate may be also influenced.
In view of the foregoing circumstances, the inventor has invested a lot of time to study the relevant knowledge, compare the pros and cons, research and develop related products. After quite many experiments and tests, the “feeding and positioning device for toy gun” of this invention is eventually launched to improve the foregoing shortcomings, to meet the public use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
To describe clearly that the present invention achieves the foregoing objective and function, the technical features and desired function are described with reference to a preferred embodiment and accompanying drawings.
Please reference to FIGS. 2 to 7, a feeding and positioning device for toy gun of the present invention mainly comprises a barrel 1 and a friction cylinder 2 so that a nozzle 3 may push bullets 4 (such as BB bullets) to be feed (shown as in FIG. 7) and then to be fired.
The barrel 1 may have a bore 11, a convex hole 12, and a guiding groove 13. Two ends of the bore 11 may be communicated with each other and for guiding a bullet 4. The convex hole 12 may be arranged at a first end of an outer surface of the barrel 1 and communicated with the bore 12. The guiding groove 13 with a circular cone shape may be convexly arranged at a bottom surface of the bore 11 and axially extended. Please refer to FIGS. 2, 5, and 7, two groove sides 15 may be formed at two sides of the guiding groove 13. A width and a depth of the guiding groove 13 are gradually decreased from the first end of the barrel 1 inwardly and a cross section of the guiding groove 13 is arc shape so that the bullet 4 is aligned by the groove sides 15 of the guiding groove 13. Two embedding grooves 14 may be respectively arranged at an outer surface of two sides of the first end of the barrel 1 and axially extended, and a radial ring groove 16 may be arranged at one end of each embedding groove 14 opposite to the first end of the barrel 1.
The friction cylinder 2 may have a hollow and elastic cylinder body 21 and a friction portion 22. The cylinder body 21 may be covered at the first end of the barrel 1.

An inner convex ring 26 may be arranged at the friction cylinder 2 and corresponding to the radial ring groove 16. A positioning protrusion portion 23 may be arranged between an inner portion of the friction cylinder 2 adjacent to the first end of the barrel 1 and the friction portion 22 so that the positioning protrusion portion 23 is inserted into the convex hole 12 and the bore 11 inwardly and then downwardly press a rear section of the bullet 4 adjacent to the first end of the barrel 1 and the friction portion 23 is controlled to slantwise press a front section of the bullet 4 opposite to the rear section.
